about:2023 is a rough year for founders. With VC funding down 53% YoY and the loss of SVB (and now FRB), the Era of Easy Money is over.

Startups today have to move fast, stay flexible, and focus on what matters most: sustainable, achievable growth.

Most agencies and freelancers don't get this. They don't understand the difficult balance between moving quickly and keeping costs low. They don't understand how to support rapid iterations and continuous discovery through the grind towards Product-Market Fit. They don't get the need for flexibility—the ability to take a complete 180 at a moment's notice in response to a founder's ever-evolving understanding of their target market.

Most agencies just don't get startups.

But we do.

Since 2015, I've helped early-stage companies scale their tech output without scaling their budgets. Unlike our competition, I get startups: I was Founding Engineer at Zipline and have helped 35+ companies build, launch, and scale their products since going independent in 2015.

Now, at NoNerds.com, I'm supported by a team of 30+ world-class Nerds from the US, EU, and Latin America. We've helped companies backed by YC, Fidelity, and T Rowe Price—companies that have raised over $650M and counting with our work.

If you're looking for a technical partner that will build whatever you tell them to, keep looking.

That's not us.

But if you're looking for a partner that will challenge you to build the best possible product you can?

Let's chat.
